Talented Missouri-born Ellen Drew was born Esther Loretta Flicker in 1915, the daughter of an Irish barber. She worked various jobs (accountant, salesgirl) to shore up her division until her fresh-faced passable looks and superior-wattage grin earned her a pair of pulchritude pageant trophies. Encouraged to scrutinize her good break in Hollywood, she was discovered in somewhat conventional 'Lana Turner' (qv) way. While working at an ice cream parlor, customer 'William Demarest' (qv) took notice ... of her and was supportive in having her put call of contract at Main Studios in 1936. Initially billed as Terry Ray, she was groomed in starlet bits for two years until decisively given a place she could sink her teeth into in the 'Bing Crosby' (qv) musical _Yodel You Sinners (1938)_ (qv). Her hair was changed from brunette to auburn (sometimes blonde) and her moniker changed from Terry Glimmer to Ellen Drew. Brighter roles came her way with _If I Were Royal (1938)_ (qv), which clinched her dignitary, _Women Without Names (1940)_ (qv) and _Buck Benny Rides Again (1940)_ (qv). Ellen seemed destined top-scarper stardom, but somehow it didn't turn up. She never managed to tell the difference herself among the bevy of Hollywood beauties on display and so remained on the outer fringes for most her craft. Regard for top-grade roles in crushed movies, notably the 'Preston Sturges' (qv) classic _Christmas in July (1940)_ (qv) and the 'Dick Powell (I)' (qv) starrer _Johnny O'Clock (1947)_ (qv), Ellen's smokescreen trade went on a steep deny. In the 1950s she transferred her talents to TV more willingly than removed the following decade. Married four times, including Grub Streeter/maker 'Sy Bartlett' (qv), she formerly larboard one son and several grandchildren when she passed away in 2003 at age 88 in Palm Recompense, California.Read moreLess
